Pertois-Lebrun

Derrière Le Mont Aigu N°17 | Bottle 75cl

Description

has been exclusively organic since 2013. Today, Antoine and Clément offer a refined version of the resulting cuvée, with no added sulfites or liqueur de dosage, to let terroir, wine and nature express themselves in all honesty! A luminous champagne for connoisseurs in search of authenticity.

The Chardonnays that make up this champagne come exclusively from the "Derrière le Mont Aigu" plot, planted in 1955 by Antoine and Clément's grandfather, on the Grand Cru terroir of Chouilly.

These Chardonnays are vinified and aged in sandstone vats (36%) and oak barrels (64%), and the bottles are aged for a minimum of 4 years in the House cellars.

The nose reveals flavors of honey, baked apples, yellow fruit and brioche, accompanied by a delicate smoky aroma.

On the palate, the attack offers a great sensation of horizontal freshness, evolving into a generous, full-bodied, crisp, chalky texture that stretches from mid-palate to finish.

This gourmet cuvée Derrière le Mont Aigu N°17 will reveal all its richness and potential as an accompaniment to a back of salmon semi-cooked over a wood fire, a mature goat's cheese or a coq aux morilles with a cream, butter and Jura yellow wine sauce.
